NEW DELHI: SwiftKey has rolled out an update for its keyboard app on
Android. The update fixes the suspended cloud sync service. It bumps the app to v6.3.9.79, enabling users to use the cloud sync feature. That said, the update is not yet available in all the regions and could take a few days to reach all users.

Multiple users shared their experience on the app’s official forums after updating their SwiftKey installations, confirming that the update made the ‘sync work again’. SwiftKey responded on the forums as well -- "This version is on a slow roll out, so you may not get it today."

Last month, it was reported that SwiftKey, one of the most widely-used third-party keyboard apps on Android and
iOS, had been unintentionally leaking users' private data.

According to The Telegraph website, "...multiple SwiftKey users recently started receiving unknown contact numbers and
email addresses in their keyboard suggestions. Some users have also been receiving such suggestions in different languages indicating the issue to be a global phenomenon."

The app shortly released an official statement regarded the bug and said that it had disabled the ability to sync the
keyboard app on new devices. In a Twitter post, the company said, "Our team is looking into this as a matter of priority."
